Real-life story of activist Eunice Paiva (Golden Globe winning performance by the extraordinary Fernanda Torres), whose husband a former congressman was abducted from their beachfront home in Rio by Brazil's military dictatorship in 1971, as she tries to keep her family together and to find the truth behind his disappearance. Adapted from their son Marcelo Rubens Paiva's memoir the film directed by Walter Salles (Motorcycle Diaries) is exhilarating in its portrayal of human tenacity in the face of injustice
